Mo Salah is often tarnished with the brush of being a selfish player, something that his assists records very clearly disprove, and Rio Ferdinand played up to this narrative with a poor question to the 30-year-old.
Speaking about the best achievements secured by our No.11, the former Manchester United man asked: “If you had a choice between winning the golden boot, which you’ve won three times, or trophies for the team – what would you pick?”.

It was a lazy question from the former England defender that clearly pedals the idea that the 30-year-old is self-centred, when he’s shown that isn’t true on so many occasions.
